2023 Advent Calendar challenge

The RRRC Advent Calendar challenge
1-31 December 2023



For each day of December leading up to Christmas, click on the dated spoilers in the next posts to access the RRRC Advent Calendar and see what 'task' has been set for you!

Some tasks involve reading but some are things for you to do at home, on GR or with us. Books can be any length - there is no page minimum. 'Tis the season' so books that fit the year end festivities (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and even New Year's Eve) are the aim, but are not a rule.

Tasks can be accessed at any time although it would be great if you waited for each date.

Don't worry if you don't finish each task each day - you have the whole of December to finish your tasks.

So reserve a post and start celebrating!


Rules
* there is no minimum page requirement
* you have the whole month of December to complete your 24 tasks
* starts on 1 December in your timezone
* track your progress in a post the you reserve below
